Microfluidics/Lab on a Chip
|
Microfluidics, a.k.a. the lab on a chip, is the study of fluids on a micro scale. This is accomplished by printing channels on a material. The chemicals under investigation are pumped through these channels for study. Gelest manufactures the PDMS (polydimethylsiloxanes) used in the manufacture of microfluidic devices. Silicones provide high aspect ratios, good mechanical properties, compatibility with solid state electronics, and are amenable to mass production. Gelest has 2-part RTV (room temperature vulcanization) silicones available for these applications.
